\n"\;The Fourteenth Colony - The Forgotten Story of the Gulf South During the American Revolutionary War"\;
\nThe British colony of West Florida - which once stretched from the mighty Mississippi to the shallow bends of the Apalachicola and portions of what are now the states of Florida\, Alabama\, Mississippi\, and Louisiana - is the forgotten fourteenth colony of America'\;s Revolutionary era. The colony'\;s eventful years as a part of the forgotten fourteenth colony of America'\;s Revolutinary era. The colony'\;s eventful years as a apart of the British Empire form an important and compelling interlude in Gulf Coast history that has far too long been overlooked. For a host of reasons\, including the fact that Wes Florida did not rebel against the British Government\, the colony has long been dismissed as a loyal but inconsequential fringe outpost\, if considered at all. But the colony'\;s history showcases a tumultuous political scene featuring a halting attempt at instituting representative government\; a host of bold and colorful characters\; a compelling saga of struggle and perseverance in the pursuit of financial stability\; and a dramatic series of battles on land and water which brought about the end of its days under the Union Jack flag.
